The biggest challenge with sidelight windows, the narrow windows often found on either side of a door, is finding an operating window blind that can be made small enough to fit. The operating mechanism often limits the width at which many blinds can be manufactured, thus limiting your choices. We've gathered this collection of sidelight window treatments that can be made narrow enough to fit most sidelight windows.

In most cases, you're probably just looking for a window treatment to add a little more privacy and light control to these windows, in which case a sheer shade or woven wood can do nicely. If you need more privacy, an optional liner on a woven wood or a more opaque cellular shade is more suitable.

looking for a wood blind?

If you really want a wood blind or faux wood blind in your sidelight windows to match the window treatments in the rest of your home, they can be made at narrow widths with a tilt wand in the center of the headrail. These blinds do not raise, and you'll need to contact our sales department to order these center tilt-only blinds.

"Great Blinds"

"Easy, easy, easy"

By Cindy from Clearwater, FL

First, I love this website. Shopping and ordering is very easy and with the free sample feature, you can't go wrong. Second, I ordered this product and it is everything I hoped it would be. It is good quality and made perfectly to my specifications. There was a question about the location of the up/down cords (they couldn't do what I wanted) so I rec'd a phone call from a rep explaining the situation and we resolved it over the phone to my satisfaction. I was pleased they called me for my approval. Third, these blinds were so easy to install. It only took about 20 minutes and they fit perfectly in my window and look beautiful. I highly recommend Blingsgalore and plan on ordering from them again. Easy shopping, easy ordering, easy installation! I have only one tiny criticism of the website, and that is that you cannot search by color. That would greatly help me for my next order as I want a specific color and I've had to slog through lots of products to see if it's available.
